using grub to display framebuffer like from cdForum: HD Install Topic: using grub to display framebuffer like from cd started by: powerglove Posted by powerglove on April 20 2005,21:06
I have an older laptop that I have installed a compact flash -> IDE adapter in and attempted a frugal install of DSL. off the cd everything works beautifully if I use the fb800x600 option, but I was unable to get LILO to load successfully into the MBR of the compact flash card, so I had to install grub. When grub loads, it does something odd to my framebuffer- how can I get it to use the same mode as fb800x600 from the DSL cd? If I pass the kernel whatever option from menu.lst will it still change it?Thanks in advance. |
